On a yearly basis, mussel farming produces around 13 000 metric tons of mussel in the Pertuis Charentais sounds (Pertuis Breton et Pertuis d’Antioche). This represents 23% of the Blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) production along the French Atlantic coastline. Production is characterized in this area by to types of growout systems: the ‘bouchot’ type culture using wooden poles(p) and off-shore longlines(l). Environmental conditions are mainly estuarine. Taking into account those cultural practices, the REMOULA monitoring network has been deployed since 2000 to provide baseline information to better understand the Blue mussel (Aiguillon(p) and Filières Pertuis Breton(l)) or trimester (Roulières(p), Marsilly(p), Yves(p), Boyard-bouchot(p) – completed by the stations Saumonards Filières(l) and Filières Chatellaillon 2(l)  (2008 to 2012).  Between 2000 and 2005 the mussel batches monitoring lasted 12 months whereas it lasted 15 months from 2006 to 2012. The initial batch of mussel is originating from the spat settlement the previous year and calibrated. On the 8 monitoring stations, calibrated mussel batches were deployed into bags (120 mussels/bag). Biometric data are measured during each monthly survey (30 individuals) and a mortality rate estimated. Additional information is obtained through biochemical analysis (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) on 3 mussel pools of 10 individuals in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Moreover gametogenic data are collected on 15 mussels (2003 and 2004). The data storage is organized using the Quadrige2 system and characterized by individual field campaign. Coastal monitoring data  Available parameters : Individual measurement :  length, shell weight, dry meat weight. Width and height at the beginning and the campaign end. Average measurement : individual weight (3x10 individuals), Calculated data: Lawrence & Scott indicator, Walne and Mann indicator, meat indicator, mortality rate % Observations : Pinnotheres and Polydora infestations, parasites. Gametic status : identification of 8 maturation stages (0, 1, 2, 3A1, 3A2, 3B, 3C, 3D) according to Lubet (1959) and Suarez (2005) Biochemical data : analytical protocols - Proteins : Lowry et al (1951) modified Razet et al (1976). Lipids : Marsh and Weinstein (1966). Carbohydrates and Glycogen Dubois et al (1956).

This visualization product displays the plastic bags abundance of marine macro-litter (> 2.5cm) per beach per year from Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) monitoring surveys. EMODnet Chemistry included the collection of marine litter in its 3rd phase. Since the beginning of 2018, data of beach litter have been gathered and processed in the EMODnet Chemistry Marine Litter Database (MLDB). The harmonization of all the data has been the most challenging task considering the heterogeneity of the data sources, sampling protocols and reference lists used on a European scale. Preliminary processing were necessary to harmonize all the data: - Exclusion of OSPAR 1000 protocol: in order to follow the approach of OSPAR that it is not including these data anymore in the monitoring; - Selection of MSFD surveys only (exclusion of other monitoring, cleaning and research operations); - Exclusion of beaches without coordinates; - Selection of plastic bags related items only. The list of selected items is attached to this metadata. This list was created using EU Marine Beach Litter Baselines and EU Threshold Value for Macro Litter on Coastlines from JRC (these two documents are attached to this metadata); - Normalization of survey lengths to 100m & 1 survey / year: in some case, the survey length was not exactly 100m, so in order to be able to compare the abundance of litter from different beaches a normalization is applied using this formula: Number of plastic bags related items of the survey (normalized by 100 m) = Number of plastic bags related items of the survey x (100 / survey length) Then, this normalized number of plastic bags related items is summed to obtain the total normalized number of plastic bags related items for each survey. Finally, the median abundance of plastic bags related items for each beach and year is calculated from these normalized abundances of plastic bags related items per survey. Sometimes the survey length was null or equal to 0. Assuming that the MSFD protocol has been applied, the length has been set at 100m in these cases. Percentiles 50, 75, 95 & 99 have been calculated taking into account plastic bags related items from MSFD data for all years. More information is available in the attached documents. Warning: the absence of data on the map doesn't necessarily mean that they don't exist, but that no information has been entered in the Marine Litter Database for this area.
